More fallout from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s appearance in front of Congress while Washington Commanders owner skipped the session on his yacht in France.
Head coach Ron Rivera put out a statement on Wednesday evening amidst widespread anger over his owner’s lack of accountability, but did he actually defend Snyder?
Finally, Snyder isn’t the only Commanders member in hot water as a poorly timed photo was put on social media of team executives, also on a yacht in France, and Rivera was fined and the team lost 2023 OTA practice sessions as punishment from the NFL for another matter. Is the punishment fair or correct? We discuss, on the Locked On Commanders Podcast!

Once again we talking about everything but winning
🤦🏾 I don’t get it how you guys can shit on the team every week ..and sell the team at the same time.. you might not like Snyder but lots of people we don’t like own shit .. how about give Jason and Ron a fresh chance .. got news for From fans we don’t care just win 🏅
You guys would have a point if you think the dan Snyder hearing was more important than my $150 take of gas… Who cares about that damn sham hearing .. i’m sure they’ll get the report back to Boss Bezos son 💯
I haven't researched that pic with the hash tag at the end of the video at all, so if I'm wrong I apologize. If that's posted on a commanders site or anything put out by the team then yes it's tone deaf, but if that pic was grabbed from someone's personal social media page then shame on the media for weaving it into Dan Snyder's mess. We're talking about a bad work place culture that existed in Washington, and now you're making life hell for current workers that weren't involved in that. I say that because everyone will be on edge just posting pics on vacation or otherwise whether with Co-workers or friends in fear that the media will grab it and do just this. No Commanders fan or follower would've ever seen that pic, even with the hash tag, and thought anything negative for one second. I see a pic of people seemingly on vacation having a good time, no Commanders gear or logos (easily identifiable, might be a Commanders lanyard) or anything having to do with the team other than their place of employment, but it could make a story for a media member, smh.
I think NFL has a belief that they are bulletproof, that people so love pro football that they can get away with anything. However their image has been taking a lot of hits lately, things like negotiating differently between white football players and minorities with head trauma, continued lack of minority FO and owners, etc. There has always been an issue with having commissioners as front men for NFL owners, that take the hits and leave the owners unscathed, and a good ole boys club for owners. This might be fine in certain settings (where, I have no idea), but the NFL enjoys government perks (example antitrust exemption) which should mean they have to meet certain standards to keep those perks, just as church organizations must that are exempt from federal income and property taxes. Little has actually been done by the government to enforce these standards and there have been calls to eliminate the antitrust exemption, and force owners to "open their books" to the public. Should all the things Dan Snyder has been accused of, prove correct, the NFL could help its image considerably by voting him out as owner in my opinion. Consider an owner or CEO would be caught skimming funds or abusing subordinates, how could that person continue to be part of the company? As it is, Snyder will make a huge profit in the sale of the organization, similar to a "golden parachute", which is bad enough. One other point is that the once proud organization that had a minimum of 20k on a waiting list for season tickets before Snyder bought the team, that had families bequeath their tickets to other family members, has the lowest attendance percentage, by far, in the NFL for 2021. The "Great Danny Experiment" is a complete failure in the eyes of most fans. Bargaining for a new stadium has dried up since revelations of owner misconduct. Snyder has no one to blame but himself, and is dragging down the entire NFL enterprise. If this is not enough to remove Snyder (and not any nonsense about his wife taking over; it has already been stated that after he agreed to remove himself from day-to-day operation of the team, he ignored it), what does constitute removal?
Chris is so fake. I want all David. No Chris. #SorryNotSorry
The w.hole world scared of Synder. Damn!!!. He's untouchable.
I think Dan Snyder is one of the best owners in the NFL. Someone obviously has a hit out on his head. And I think you guys are working for whoever has that hit. Because anyone in their right mind can see that that whole clown show of a Congress meeting was total BS. 2 1/2 hours of nothing and the media can only take 30 seconds of a clip to try and make Snyder look bad 👎. They failed and they will fail again and Snyder is here forever! Bite Deez LOC. Your show sucks. Go find another team hate on.
The Dan Snyder situation is a non issue..Its a boring topic..The owners will not vote him out cause they have skeletons that all the owners no about each other..If the owners attempted to oust Dan he would open a can of whupp Ass on the owners and League office and they all know it..Owners wants NO PART OF THAT CONFRONTATION…Lets move on PLEASE..
